Santa Julia Reserva Malbec 2015
Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThe reserva malbec continues to reflect the Zuccardi family foray into concrete, and a growing respect for terroir-based wines. A better vintage than last year, this wine has all the hallmarks and grace of sensitive malbec. The weight is medium, the fruit focused and subtly bright with peppery, floral highlights. The mid-palate is lively and the tannins finely framing. This is a considerate, moderate, confident and quiet malbec that charms. Impressive, especially considering the price. Back up the truck and fire up the barbecue.Tasted: 11 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:AB | $17.50 | 750ml | private wine stores |
